4M Toysmith, Green Science Windmill Generator Kit, DIY Science Kit With LED Lights, For Boys & Girls Ages 8+ (Packaging May Vary)

The media could not be loaded. We have tested this product with both the suggested dirty water and water colored with food coloring and it worked on both cases. It should be noted however that the filtering materials are vert small quantities, so using a big amount of water dirt or colors will make it less efficient faster. I would suggest to do the test with small amounts, I think 50 ml is more the enough to demonstrate the principle. For the dyed water I ended up using only 20 ml.My daughter used it for her science project and it was very fun for her to do and she assemble it herself with my guidance to explain the instructions. She is first grade so I do not think it is very challenging bu fun and educating to observe.I added a video of the assembly and the final product and function. I would suggest to use a heavy glass container as a collector as they suggested because it was too flimsy when my daughter used a plastic cup and needed to add a support cup as seen in the end of the video.

Arrived when expected. Easy to assemble. Worked as described. Reasonable price.

I received this today in our RND Lab and assembled it right away. Had 2 issues that once corrected, the unit works just fine.1st, they provide a detailed instruction sheet and it is simple to follow. They "clearly" show the RED wire at the bottom right rear and the BLACK on the other terminal. After assembly the light would not light up. As an engineer, I immediately started trouble shooting and found that if it was spun backwards the LED would light up. Of course being thorough (they recommend twisting the wires which I just can't live with), had to "de-solder" and then re solder the wires to the opposite terminals. Using our shop air compressor system and 40 PSI the LED lit very brightly.2nd, the bottle cap adapter that they recommend adding oil to is molded with too high of a tolerance. To fix this problem, I sanded the very top edge until it was smooth (there is a very definite ridge ring that can be felt around it that is unnecessary). After that it easily spun around as it should.I've added a picture showing the 2 steps above.So, in the end, definitely an excellent product for learning and and the price is very reasonable. If it hadn't been for the extra work it would have been given it all 5 stars.

This was a lifesaver for an overdue science project my Son needed to get done for his 4th grade class. The instructions were easy to follow, the science was clear to understand and explain in his report, and he and his Dad had fun building it and testing it out. It worked just as promised and the light is clear to see. It got here fast and was very afforable... just an all around great product! Thank you!

It's a cool idea, but definitely quite messy and kids couldn't stomach all the wait for the water drip. You also have to supply your own dirt to add to water, which due to the different nature of dirt is likely to cause different experiences. You also can't drink the water, so it's ultimately a subpar filter with little cool factor for the kids.

The media could not be loaded. Took my daughter to the coast recently and drove past the windmill farms. She was fascinated and full of questions so we decided to look into a project. Glad we went with this one. Easy to assemble just wish it was a little better quality. Took quite a bit to get the screws tightened.

Ever see a kid get a present and FREAK? Then he doesn't put it down at all - he walks around with the present in his hand throughout the whole party - gripped in his hand - just because he loves the present sooo much?That is what I experienced when I gave this present to my nephew on Christmas Eve. The kid didn't put the box down. He thought it was the best thing, he passed over the video games and zeroed in on this present and it was the best present in the world. I gave 4M presents to all the kids and it was a hit.Getting feedback from Dad on later install - he said it was fun to put together, easy for the 9 year old boy to figure out, but challenging enough for fun - and it was SUPER FAST when the water was added. Works for me.

Good kit for science projects and renewable energy education.
